- From start to finish, the making of a deer antler scales on a skinning knife.
This channel mainly focuses on Hobby Knife Making and any projects we have around the House and Garden. I don't claim to be a professional Knife Smith and I don't and never have offered knives for sale. The way I do it is not necessarily the right way, It is simply a hobby Incorporating Wood working, Metal working and Leather working, recreating age old working tools as in a recreation of the 1950s British Army issue knife, Hunters Knives, skinning Knives, Fishing / Gutting Knives and Kitchen or Chefs Knives. The power tools and hand tools used in my videos may be used in a way that is not recommended and is in no way a tutorial of how to use tools of any kind, always be safe and wear the necessary safety equipment and use your tools in the way that the manufacturer recommends.

You don't need a big knife if you know what you're doing. Bravo

Very cool , I’m getting back into making some EDC and some neck knives. The last one I worked on was in the early 90s . 1/4 SS with black delrin with a aggressive diamond pattern and the knife breaks completely to be cleaned . But, Now I don’t have a wire machine 😎
Nice. I like the style and materials. I know how bad it smells when grinding antlers, but love the end result.
Thanks for your comment glad you liked it.

Good vedio but too much bad music no need for music in this type of vedio
Regards
A heavy duty beauty! And all done in 11 minutes, right? :) What material is the liner used between the antler handles and the blade steel made of? Thanks for sharing!
+HobieonCZcams Yes 11 minutes or more like 11 hours. The material is called "Vulcanised board" Thanks for your comment.
cool video man I'm thinking of making my own 👍
oh and cool use of spray paint I've never seen that before it's smart
Thanks for your comments and good luck with making your own.

Nice videos man, keep up
+Mare Gamer Thanks for your support.
Nice knife - I really appreciate watching someone build something for scratch. Out of curiosity what was the black sheet material that you put between the antler and tang
It was purchased off ebay UK, they call it "Black Fibre Lner" Thanks for your question. Here is a link: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Knife-Making-Handle-Liner-Guitar-Vulcanised-Fibre-Board-A5-Black/264133148296?epid=2155608093&hash=item3d7f8ffe88:g:KqgAAOSw5dNWoUIu:rk:2:pf:1&frcectupt=true
Nice Knife and cool video, Love some stag, I specialize in making stag knives
Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed it. Making a stag knife would make a good video, why not give it a go, would love to see it.
Thank you for the encouragement, I'm working on it i just got a go pro and another camera so i guess i'll see what i can do. Feel free to subscribe to me and i will let you know when it's up Thanks!
Brilliant, cant wait to see it, just subscribed and good luck with the video.
Very nice knife I think one a bit bigger with a gut hook would look awesome but anyways nice knife man
+Christian Gonser I agree, I will be doing a bigger one, might try putting a gut hook on it for the first time, watch this space and cheers for the comment.
+GAN sounds good I'll be keeping and eye out for it and keep the videos coming
Great video what belt grinder did you do your bevels on
Sorry for the late reply, its just a cheap 1" x 30" belt sander, you will find many variations online, ebay Amazon etc. Thanks for your comment

Nice vid! What steel and thickness did you use?
4mm - 01 tool steel, thanks for your comment.
Nice video! What’s the brand of your belt grinder? Thank you!
what is the black backing he is putting on the back on the antler? can you glue the antler scales directly to the knife tang?? Also if the knife i am making is only being used as a gutting knife. does it need to be pinned or is the epoxy enough to hold ??
Vulcanised fibre liners are the black liners between the steel and the antler. Yes you can glue the antler directly to the tang. A good epoxy will last a long time the pins are just to be certain they never come apart. Thanks for your questions and good luck with your knife build.👍
Nice video . The heat treatment tool is muffle furnace?
Similar, but this is propane fed not programmable, no heating element, no electric. Thanks for your comment.

What did you put on the bone handle at the end. I have a lot of antler I plan on using eventually. Great looking knife!
Stop the video at 10:34 to see the tin. It's a wet rot wood hardener by ever build any wet rot wood hardener would do. It quite simply puts a protective coat on the bone and gives it a sheen. Thanks for the comment.
Where have you been all my life
Nice job enjoyed the build 2 questions
Type of steel?
What was that final step Wood Hardener?
Thanks subscribed!
01 Tool steel, and the wood hardener is just to seal the antler.
Thanks for your comment.
I would make the scales thinner before gluing, and possibly angle down so that they are just a little thinner near the blade. This makes it less blocky. The handle seems too fat. Making them thinner on the inside means that you don't have to sand off so much of the rough texture on the outside like you did. Leave as much of that as you can, just knocking off the sharp stuff. Otherwise you might just as well use a soup bone. The handle looks pretty short, too. Do you like that? Especially with a short blade, I want a handle long enough to extend past the mouse of my hand. I don't want to handle it with my thumb and forefinger. This is just my advise and I don't mean to insult you. Overall, you did a nice job.
Handle looks nothing like a soup bone,I like the contrast that the sanding made.It is better than just the brown solid color.The handle is shorter than I would make but many knives are made with short handles and blades.
This is more like a skinning knife that can take a beating. I'd want one that can split kindling too
Beautiful work!! I'm starting into knife making. What brand, what type, and how long of files should I buy? Thank you in advance for your help! God Bless you!
I go to MSC fir Nicholson. I get 14" long files in mill bastard and second cut. Thete are many sizes n brands. Flat files, a warding file a 4" mill and a half round will all get you started
What's the best belt grinder to buy... under 200 dollars
Explicit Blades if your looking for "best" then build one... but, I have the same 4x36 that he has and it works great, I got mine at Menards (I don't know where you're from, it's a Midwest USA tool and home improvement store) and it's like $100, then you can get a spindle sander for $70 and have a perfect set up (for most)
Jake Schlepp I'm saving up for a 2×72 grizzly
Explicit Blades dont it sucks
I made my own. Great project! Then made a grinding jig then sharpening jig!

where'd you get this deer antler? I want to make some sweet decorations/knife handles with them, then sell what I make for 500% of the actual value
A friend of mine hunts the deer and he gave me the antler so didn't buy it from anywhere.
i never asked where you bought it!
i'll have to ask around, i live in a rural part of the US so it shouldnt be hard to find

is it made of mild steel?
+Conservative Macro This knife is made from "01" tool steel
Cute.. but handle's too short.
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
Um have u heard of heat treat
Yes I have heard of heat treat, lost the video of this knife being heat treated, thanks for your comment

Bet the bone cutting stank up the place... That is, if you got it too hot.
+Vilius Rinkevičius No funnily enough it didn't, just seemed to cut really clean and quick. Thanks for your comment.
hello amazing knife I loved it I would like to see if you can sell me an equal excellent work
Stop crawling ,you can buy knives like this from numerous online sources .
zajebioza
Dziękuję Ci
2:12 what is that tool called?
Its a "Welders Magnet" thanks for your comment.
que acero usas?
Where can I get the epoxy he used?
eBay epoxy steel just a couple of pounds if you are in the Uk but does a great job and sets in ten minutes.
Thanks, just subbed. Great videos, keep up the good work.
+Jordan Collins I should have sent you this in the first place, here's the link to the glue and thanks for subbing, two more knife and sheath videos on the way very soon.

+GAN could you make a video on a kydex sheath?thanks for the link
+Jordan Collins I would if I could, I've never done one, not really keen on them.

Brilliant are we going somewhere?

i dont think you know what a skinning knife is..
Would you mind adding a little more to the comment and explain what you mean, looking forward to the reply. This knife has skinned scores of rabbits very efficiently, one of the best skinners I own. You are presumeably talking about skinning large game, if that is the case then yes I agree with you, I would use a larger blade.
I was referencing larger game, and i suppose i use the pulling a sock method for rabbits. good thought out and polite reply.
Thanks for your comments and your reply is appreciated.
Horrible bevel
Thanks for your comment, that was the second knife I ever made and I agree with you, things have dramatically improved since then, When you get time check out the latest knife & Sheath video:
